I guess that would work just fine, but, you ever tried to push a rocker all the way open before???????? Spring pressure depending on your springs could be from 120 to 200 pounds closed........at least double that open!!!!!!!!!! So,to push the rocker all the way open you may need to exert 500 pounds of pressure on it!!!!!!!!!!!! There in lies the problem.............
